Celonis recognised as a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for the new category of Process Intelligence
Celonis has been named a Leader in the new category of Process Intelligence in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant which evaluates the technology’s competitive landscape.
Previously Celonis was named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Process Mining for three consecutive years.
However, this year Gartner replaced Process Mining with Process Intelligence, signifying that the technology now goes beyond just “mining” data to provide “intelligence” needed for automation and Artificial Intelligence (AI) agent governance.
While process mining focused on looking at past data to see what happened, Process Intelligence combines historical data with real-time analytics for forward-looking predictions.
With the new labelling, Celonis retained its position, being placed highest on the Ability to Execute axis and furthest on the Completeness of Vision axis.
“We are honoured to be recognised as a Leader in the market,” said Alexander Rinke (pictured), Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Celonis. “We owe this recognition to our customers, partners, and employees who keep pushing the boundaries of the possible. We believe this recognition confirms the importance of Celonis Process Intelligence in enabling our customers to optimise their operations and provide their Enterprise AI with the operational context it needs to succeed.”
Kevin Grayling, Chief Information Officer at Florida Crystals Corporation, said, “We’ve learned that data and public LLMs aren’t enough for our business; Enterprise AI needs the right context to drive intelligent decisions and actions.
“Celonis acts as our core intelligence layer, providing the operational context our AI agents need to do the right thing. It’s the foundation that allows us to deploy AI that drives the most value across our business.”
Julien Nauroy, Domain Leader – Process Intelligence & AI Catalyst at Renault Group, said, “To benefit from AI you need good data that’s well-structured, and that’s where Process Intelligence and Celonis come into play.
“Using object-centric process mining, we can go from having the data as it is in the original system to a well-structured model that makes sense to the AI, to be used to give more accurate answers. Ultimately, this combination of AI and Process Intelligence will be the catalyst for evolving our core processes, making them more agile and resilient.”
Rinke said the Celonis Process Intelligence Platform is the foundation for Enterprise AI, empowering enterprises to turn their AI ambition into compounding and meaningful value through three critical pillars:
Operational Context: It provides the operational context Enterprise AI needs to understand and improve the business through the Process Intelligence Graph – a process-centric, dynamic, and system-agnostic digital twin of operations built using advanced object-centric process mining (OCPM) capabilities.
Strategic Deployment: It helps enterprises deploy AI strategically by identifying the most impactful use cases. With the Celonis Build Experience, businesses can analyse, design, and operate composable, AI-driven processes. Our partner ecosystem shortens time to value for customers by extending the Platform with pre-built industry-specific solutions.
Seamless Integration: It provides zero-copy, bi-directional integrations with leading data lakes using Data Core and intelligently orchestrates people, agents, and existing automations through Orchestration Engine.
